Yeah well, science isn’t good at proving stuff that isn’t true… The real mystery is how we get the truth to be as persuasive as an oil lobbyist.
A lot of those pathetic excuses for politicians sell humans out for as little as $500 so money is probably the only thing they hear

The BBC’s Unnatural Histories presented evidence that the Amazon rainforest, rather than being a pristine wilderness, has been shaped by man for at least 11,000 years through practices such as forest gardening and terra preta.[20] Terra preta is found over large areas in the Amazon forest; and is now widely accepted as a product of indigenous soil management. The development of this fertile soil allowed agriculture and silviculture in the previously hostile environment; meaning that large portions of the Amazon rainforest are probably the result of centuries of human management, rather than naturally occurring as has previously been supposed.

The amazon rainforest was not originally a large rainforest. The ground was essentially terraformed, made fertile and trees planted by the ancient amazonians over thousands of years
Source: BBC unnatural histories, for over 11000 years the ground was terraformed with “terra preta” and forest was planted and converted
